[9.0] "Huge load of fun for me, and it was clear the audience was into this as well. I think it's not a 5-star match only because in the middle, it lulled for a bit, and you realised how choreographed everything was. The lull happens around the time when Toa Liona picks up one of the Rascels, and you see Dax Harwood pointing to the spot. It devolves into a spotfest from there. So much fun, but yeah, you feel the PWG of it all creeping in and feel the choreography. In the opening stretch, there was so much going on, you didn't really notice is because everyone was attacking everyone, and it felt messy, but it becomes a really fun spotfest in the end. ****1/2"
[6.0] "This felt way too over choreographed for me to super get into, but nonetheless was not bad. There were some good spots, and while I absolutely despise the recurring "let's blast music on repeat for the first half of the match" they luckily didn't do it for too long."
[5.0] "It's alright. It's not a crazy match, it's entertaining, but it doesn't seem like much more than a brawler with some legitimate fighting moments."
[8.0] "Well, that's AEW in a nutshell to you! Some love it, some hate it, but it's hard to be indifferent about it. I can say, I really like this stuff, that's why I'm here, to be honest. Fun and easy to watch. (****1/4)."
[9.0] "A ridiculously fun and great chaos. All Elite knows exactly how to book these ridiculous stipulations. I really like these even though I think they should be kept outside of PPVs (except for Anarchy In The Arena). I wasn't invested at all in any of these feuds but now I'm a little more hyped."
[10.0] "Never in my life did I think I'd see a "the same song looped twice intentionally for comedic purposes during a garbage brawl uninterrupted" anywhere outside of a DDT Pro ring."
[8.0] "really fun spot fest with the Rascalz getting a huge bump from being in AEW. Everybody in this match brought their all but i don't think a quick TV spot fest pushes much past very good to the 5-star range."
[8.0] "****3/4 A truly great match, perhaps one of my guilty pleasures of the year, but this match was amazing. It was basically a shorter, TV-ready version of Anarchy in the Arena. The chemistry was fantastic; I didn't notice a single flaw. Considering it was such a frenetic, 10-man match, it was impressive how well it was executed. There were fantastic sequences, from start to finish, showcasing each wrestler in their own way and combining well with the others. The spots were incredible, from the brawl in the crowd at the beginning to the broken tables and the double Spanish Fly. The frenetic pace was fantastic, a non-stop, well-executed action with great intensity. The crowd was completely invested in the match. The Young Bucks' combinations with the Rascalz were excellent; I would love to see a match between them. Even the GOA, who were the weakest link on paper, managed to shine without any problems and adapt their roles perfectly, resulting in what was probably the best match of their careers (and also of Perry's and the Rascalz's careers). Very... What a finish! Ricochet is finished off by the Bucks with the BTE Trigger and followed up with a Running Single Knee Strike (assisted by the Bucks) by Perry to win the game. A real fight, no doubt"
[10.0] "Seeing basically AINTA on live TV was really dope, one thing AEW does well is these stipulation matches. Rascalz feel so at home being in this company & they stole the show tonight, everyone did well but they were my MVP's in this. Great match"
[9.0] "9 - Thank you gentlemen for this incredible and enjoyable match. A real anarchy in the arena. Each team was able to show themselves, the GOA and the Razcalz are gaining more and more power, FTR and the YoungBucks are still at the top. Perry and Ricochet still fuel their rivalry (it has to move up a gear now). An association of magnificent spots on the background of Perry's theme, what more could you ask for?"
[9.0] "crazy crazy match that brings new people like the rascalz involved in a great manner in a party/all fun match with anything goes and top spots like the vacuum cleaner, the sequence of air attacks, the spanish fly, tables, and i can go on and on the song and the constant action keep the eye on the screen without blinking, its just awesome to see all that packed wrestling and moves combined and delivered that way"
[8.0] "Maybe I'm just getting to old and have seen too much. This was a good match with a lot of fun spots but in no way was it a great match. I will say I prefer this when people have matches coming up at a PPV. Instead of a match where obviously the person with a match coming up will win."
[10.0] "Fun fun fun fun fun. Everybody got a spot. Jack and Toa's vacuum spot was an awesome visual. Myron Reed is special if don't know, now you do. The ME's in '26 have been must see and that is a great job by TK and crew. Bravo!"
"The epitome of a party match. If you are looking for deep ring psychology, this is not the match for that. But this match was just so much fun. The performers all looked good at various times. This was an impressive feat in the altitude in Denver."
[6.0] "This AITA matches are usually a hit or miss for me, personally. I wasn't feeling this one during the first half, but some occasional moments and the finall sequences ultimately made for an okay match."
[9.0] "Woke ass shit strikes again and it is EXCELLENT. Well, maybe not excellent, because that would apply that I enjoyed that more than the Kenny vs Swerve one which I gave the same rating. Honestly? Yeah, I do like that more than the Kenny vs Swerve bout as entertaining purposes. For wrestling match quality, you can obvious count some mistakes here considerable huges, like the fact that the referee was nowhere close to any of those wrestlers, the Rascalz look like they're out of the place and it was a complete MESS even for the wrestlers itself. But yeah, they had so much fun doing it and I really consider the GoA my MVPs here, with an huge congrats for the Young Bucks that always perform so damn high in matches like that. Watched that shit with an smile on my face until the ending."
[10.0] "Anarchy in the Arena Jr. This was so much fun for what it is. Lots of table spots and barely any botch at all. Young Bucks and Rascalz were my MVPs of the night. For some moments the match went messy, specially when Jack Perry got flour all over the place lmao"
[7.0] "This was remarkably fun. I do think it went on a little bit past its peak but for the most part, this was pretty great and probably my favourite match of the night. Constant high octane action in this with everyone getting a chance to do something cool with strong performances from Ricochet and Jack Perry in particular. Not usually a fan of the Rascalz but i thought they were pretty good here too. This was a dumb spotfest in essence but i thought everything they did here was really well executed and the crowd were super hot for it too. ***3/4"
[8.0] "All in good fun. Tony Khan using the eyes AEW has been getting from the national media recently to showcase a microiteration of what is surely AEW's best match type. This had elements of Anarchy In The Arena, but it honestly felt more like a Guerrilla Warfare match, which is complimentary. Awesome match to have on free TV, and it benefited everyone involved. ****1/4"
[9.0] "Three weeks in a row that AEW put a banger (TV MOTYC) on Dynamite, this time we have the 'Mile High Madness', which is basically a smaller, TV-adapted version of Anarchy In The Arena, complete chaos, crazy spots and guaranteed fun. My biggest 'problem' with this match is seeing Jack Perry pinning Ricochet and further prolonging this endless feud over the National Belt [****1/2]."
[9.0] "Thoroughly entertaining from start to finish with some excellent action (from The Demand, Perry & The Bucks especially). The vacuum cleaner spot was absolutely fantastic; I really popped for what was almost an explosion of 'dust', and from here the Bucks and Ricochet put together a couple of excellently executed spots. The quintuple superkick was such a simple but effective moment, Perry lifting Liona almost as impressive as the table spot that came as a consequence, and the double Spanish fly spot was stunning. This was superb and elevated all the feuds in it to the main event stage. We've seen better stories told before and during equivalent matches, but the action seen here was flawless."
[10.0] "This may be the most fun tornado tag match I've ever watched. It felt like Anarchy in the Arena, but for TV! They had everything you ever wanted, spots, tables, a vacuum, being thrown into the barricade, trash cans! You have Toa Liona bodying people, being a tank, the Rascalz hitting a double Spanish Fly, and Myron Reed clearing the ropes for a cutter? This was chaotic in every sense and I loved it."
[9.0] "I rated it an 8.5, This match was absolute, beautiful chaos an all-out arena-wide brawl packed with chair shots, brutal floor suplexes and so many overlapping wild moments it felt impossible to track everything at once. The peak insanity came when Dax and Bishop Kaun launched Desmond Xavier off the top with a double superplex, immediately followed by a splash from Dax, a Toa Liona headbutt, and Ricochet soaring in with a springboard 450 for a ridiculous near fall EXCELLENT in every sense. Toa looked like an unkillable boss, tanking a five-man superkick, swatting Zachary Wentz out of midair with a head butt, and refusing to go through a table until the Bucks and Jack Perry finally overwhelmed him with a superkick-powerbomb combo. Jack Perry added to the madness by detonating a vacuum cleaner basket over Toa's head in a cloud of dust and later being launched into Ricochet's orbit for the match-ending knee that secured the pin. Between the Rascals' guardrail Spanish Fly through a table on Ricochet, Nick Jackson weaponizing a flying trash can, Desmond's shooting star press on nearly everyone, and even Myron Reed sneaking in a moment, the whole thing played out like a highlight reel that somehow never stopped escalating."
[6.0] "This match was clearly a shortened version of Anarchy in the Arena. I understand that many people enjoy it, but it's simply not for me. It was impossible to follow properly, poorly filmed, and many wrestlers did almost nothing during the match, spending their time selling moves that weren't even shown. I don't know if this kind of match can elevate anyone or serve the ongoing storylines..."
[10.0] "Basically a mini AITA on a random episode of dynamite which is just so beast. I don't think I've ever seen a vacuum cleaner in a match yet here we are. The Rascalz deserve a push to the moon after this, they're just so damn good at everything they do."
[10.0] "AEW excels at these chaotic multi-man matches, this is pretty much just Anarchy in the Arena with a different name but I don't have any problem with that. This got me popping big time even though I don't actually usually care for half these guys. Just a crazy good time, I had a blast."
[9.0] "An amazing match, this was so much fun to watch. This is already in my Top 3 favorite TV Matches from this year, because wow. Everyone was having a fun performance in this match, but my favorite part had to be when Myron Reed did that insane outside move into the ring that was sick, and he wasn't even in the match. This was such a fun stipulation match, something that makes me always enjoy watching AEW because even if a show isn't up to par, they always have one match that blows everything else away. Great job by everyone involved in this match."
[9.0] "A mini AITA so you just knew this match would go fucking crazy and be a great watch and it certainly was. It was just 20 minutes of good fun wrestling with so many cool spots and moments that had the crowd going crazy. Yeah somehow this story of these 10 works even though it feels like it should not be here we are. When you start a wrestling match to music you are always getting bonus points from my because of how much of a good vibe it is. The team of faces were so fucking good throughout Jack perry with his best performance in a long time throwing about the GOA. The Bucks were just great as normal fucking flying about hitting their best hits. First match i have seen the Rascals in since they signed as i have been busy with UNI but fuck me they were so cool with some crazy flips and dives. The heels were also great with some great spots throughout god i love GOA. The finish was overkill in the fucking perfect way with Ricochet taking everyone's finishers before Jack perry got the 3 for what i assume will be a rematch for the national title which is cool. Overall yeah what a fucking match AEW goes 3 weeks in a row with TVMOTYC's which is just crazy when you deep it god i love wrestling when it is this good. (****3/4)"
[7.0] "Loads of fun. Felt like a mini Anarchy in the Arena match. AEW is on a streak right now of putting PPV-level matches on free tv and I couldn't love it more. I mean this match was a spotfest sure but it was a fun time all round so I'm not complaining."
[8.0] "[3.75*] - It's a super silly match. Everything here happens with the clear intention of being way more fun than serious or of heating up any kind of rivalry. I'm not a huge fan of the PWG-style "crazy spot shit, " but both teams managed to capture that essence without it feeling forced or just flippy-spot after flippy-spot. At one point, Jack Perry pulled a vacuum cleaner out from under the ring and it absolutely cracked me up. The crowd was on fire, chanting for more tables, and the wrestlers kept feeding into it to grab those cheap pop (which, honestly, were totally needed here and made perfect sense). It was great, hilarious, and insanely fun from top to bottom Kind of like a more toned-down Anarchy in the Arena. A perfect way to close the show: wild pace, chaotic energy, and just straight-up fun."
[9.0] "A mix of PWG and Anarchy in the Arena. Loved this ME. Dynamited has had three killer matches to end the show in these last weeks. Pure chaos in the best of ways. 4.25*"
[6.0] "I was not very convinced by a Dynamite main event with such low stakes and a light construction, but it is true that this TV version of Anarchy in the Arena was fun and enhanced with enjoyable spots. In-ring quality: 2.5/4. Stakes: 0.5/2. Justification: 0.75/1. Card placement: 0.75/1. Suspense: 1/1. Bonus/penalty: none. Total: 6.5/10. Match watched on Triller TV."
[9.0] "So....wtf was this? ! It was awesome that's what it is. The cocaine of wrestling matches. Story is weird that these guys are all working together. There is a connection but it is quite thin. The main thing is that it was a fun as HELL match. Crazy shit, so much fun. Had a smile on my face the entire time. Ended up standing in my living room by the end of the match, that's how you know it's good."
[10.0] "Anarchy In The Arena but make it a TV match. A fast paced weapon filled spotfest that was honestly just a ton of fun. Matches like this are always an incredible time, and having one randomly pop up on a Dynamite was excellent. 10/10, top marks - AEW has been hitting home runs with Wednesday main events in 2026."
[8.0] "Very fun main event to continue a streak of great dynamites. I didn't think much of the match when it got announced but it turned into a mini anarchy in the arena. Even though the action and chaos never reaches anarchy in the arena heights, there is still a lot of fast-paced action and cool spots"
[9.0] "Mile High Madness, whatever it is we all expected it to be that good when it was announced. And it really was awesome. Respect to the 10 guys who performed perfectly in this match, with so much intensity and speed. Technically perfect, impressive, beautiful car crash type of match."
[7.0] "An enjoyable and chaotic main event with good energy to it that felt like a TV condensed Anarchy In The Arena. Crowd really enjoyed it and it was pretty entertaining to watch with its chaos."
[9.0] "The match started simply with Perry coming to the ring, but then the opposing team attacked him until his partners came to secure the win. It was the kind of match that never ends. It allowed for a mix of several rivalries (Perry vs. Ricochet, Bucks vs. FTR). I really liked the vacuum cleaner sequence because it's an original weapon. At the end, Perry pinned Ricochet."
[7.0] "Pretty fun chaotic brawling match that's like a mini version of Anarchy in the Arena that merged a lot of different feuds together. That 3 man Spanish Fly onto the table was crazy and I thought for sure they were gonna just miss it completely lol"
[8.0] "This match was crazy, so much was happening that it was hard to keep track of. I still had a blast watching this. This is the kind of chaotic multi-man matches I love watching. The stuff these guys were doing to each other were brutal looking. I started laughing when Jack grabbed a vacuum, but Dax pleading for help had me in tears. This felt like a PG version of Anarchy in the Arena."
[9.0] "[4.5 Stars] I saw the poster and thought, "What the hell is this? " But in the end, it was absolutely brilliant lol, the kind of car accident we all love."
[9.0] "A fun match, the only downside of which was the confusing opening with three screens, which ruined the experience as you couldn't figure out where to look and got lost in space. Otherwise, it was a great analog of Anarchy in the Arena, and a good ending to the episode."
[7.0] "The high bar for this kind of match was set by the ROH vs CZW multi-mans and I'll definitely take that level of scarily intense violence with bell-to-bell storytelling over this fun-but-throwaway cartoonish plunder party spot-fest ***1/2"
[6.0] "I think overall this match was okay, but for me it was a match which started poor, picked up, overstayed its welcome, and then picked up again for the end. It's one of those matches with so much going on and so many people doing different things that it blurs together into one big mess. It got so messy there was even a moment where Toa threw a Buck onto FTR. I must have tuned out at least twice watching this, and I'm not someone who second-screens anything. These AEW big brawl matches rarely do it for me."
[7.0] "[3.5*] Man, I LOVED this match. I'm so glad I ended up watching it in the first place, because I was going to turn the TV off before it started lol. Now, I always feel a little bit ""uncomfortable"" while evaluating this kind of match because I'm pretty sure I had the exact same fun as some people who are giving it a full 5-Stars or something, but those who only look at the number "7.0" will think I'm a hater. No, I'm not, I LOVED the match! I won't go higher because, as everyone noted below, this was a fucking stupid match lol (affectionate). It was just a dumb fun 20-min PWG memorial crazy fest where nothing even made sense, a lot of spots were just irreal and you were just supposed to laugh and have fun. I laughed and I had the time of my life! I don't think this was the objective best and most complete wrestling match of the night, but this was definitely the funniest and a great choice to main event the show with this incredible crowd atmosphere. I can't even describe the spots because of how senseless and insane they were lol, but this shit was just GREAT!"
